My state isn’t listed for associated state but my w2 has amounts in box 18, 19, 20. It won’t let me continue without entering a state. What do I do? Thanks

Choose the State where you earned the Income and Paid the Tax shown in Boxes 18, 19, and 20 on your W-2.

If you were a Non-Resident of that State (you only worked there), you can file a Non-Resident State Return to claim a refund.

I work and live in alaska and am a resident. Alaska is not listed but my w2 has amounts in boxes  18,19. Should I just not enter these numbers because there is on state tax in Alaska?

Please tell us what is in your boxes 18, 19, and 20? Is there really a local income tax (like from a city or county) from where you live in Alaska?

Box 18.  41500.00

        19.  207.50

Is the state in box 15 of your W-2 the state that you live in and work in?  Or is it another state?  Is there a local tax, a city tax or a county tax?

Boxes 18 through 20 of the W-2 generally refer to Local/City Taxes Withheld.

Follow these directions to access your W-2:
